Trump asks Supreme Court to block the release of his tax returns

[Billy000]

Every president in the last 4 decades has done this.

If Trump had the utmost integrity when discussing his business dealings and net worth, why wouldn’t he just release them? Talk about schooling those libs with the truth! He has nothing to hide!

Instead he has desperately taken this issue to the Supreme Court.

The Republican justification for this is logic they came up with on the spot when this was first discussed: “it’s no one’s business!”

Right I’m sure you would have been perfectly fine if Obama had blocked his returns instead. He deserves the utmost financial privacy like Trump does.

So Trump lied when he told us he would release his tax returns to us when his audit was completed?

 

[Devils_Advocate]

Unless it is required by law that he has to then I do not see why the Federal Government would release them?

You’re just conveniently using that as a justification for him not doing this. It’s not about it being illegal. It’s about him being a corrupt coward.

 

[Billy000]

Why isn't the IRS after Trump?

Hard to say why. I mean we already know he’s being investigated for his business dealings in NY. It’s likely more because he doesn’t want the world to see all his business failures and his net worth. It’s a good thing daddy gave him those 10s of millions of dollars in the 80’s.

Lol yes a lies on top of lies. It’s the Trump way.

Why release them when not doing so gets you so fucking mad?

Your taxes are your business. Why are Trump's any different?

 

[Sunni Man]

There is no reason for Trump to release his tax returns.
That's because he is the most honest and truthful president to have ever ruled our country and would never cheat on his taxes.

^^^^^^

Such mature reasoning!!

Why release them

In order to comply with the law.

U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee, sided with Congress in December 2021 and threw out the case, finding that the committee holds broad authority over a former president's tax returns.

In August, the District of Columbia U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals also ruled against Trump, concluding that "every president takes office knowing that he will be subject to the same laws as all other citizens upon leaving office." The appeals court refused a rehearing on Oct. 27.

Look who is talking.

Again, you’re just conveniently coming up with excuses. You wouldn’t be saying this if a democrat was blocking this.

Congress doesn't have the right to see your tax returns.

 

[bripat9643]

You’re just conveniently using that as a justification for him not doing this. It’s not about it being illegal. It’s about him being a corrupt coward.

It's about Congress abusing its authority.

The IRS has audited Trump every year since he first filed a tax return.

That isn't an excuse, it's a legal fact.

Why wouldn't I? Remember I am on the side that supports equal justice, you are not.
